Sun Mar 16 | 20:58 | Vince Williams Jr. Returning On Monday |
Memphis Grizzlies forward Vince Williams Jr. (ankle) has been removed from the injury report ahead of Monday's game against the Sacramento Kings. Williams appears ready to get back in action following a one-game absence due to a right ankle issue. Williams has been fairly quiet recently with three straight games of seven points or less. The 24-year-old doesn't exactly have a big role in the rotation, but possibly he sees more minutes with Santi Aldama (calf) doubtful for this contest. Regardless, Williams is a fairly risky streaming option for Monday's slate. |

Fri Feb 21 | 18:31 | Vince Williams Jr. Sits Out Meeting With Magic |
Memphis Grizzlies guard/forward Vince Williams Jr. (knee) will not suit up for Friday's game against the Orlando Magic, having been downgraded from questionable to out. Williams Jr. lands on the shelf following a 20-minute outing on Thursday against the Indiana Pacers. He is managing left knee soreness. Williams Jr.'s exit from the lineup creates additional playing opportunities for GG Jackson II and Luke Kennard. On Thursday night, neither player impressed, as they combined for 5-for-12 shooting. |

Fri Feb 21 | 14:29 | Vince Williams Jr. Considered Questionable Against Magic |
Memphis Grizzlies forward Vince Williams Jr. (knee) has received a questionable status for Friday's matchup with the Orlando Magic. The 24-year-old has struggled mightily with injuries all season but has played in four of the team's last five games. He did, however, sit out of one half of their last back-to-back, so it wouldn't be surprising if they held him out of Friday's game after they played Thursday against the Indiana Pacers. Santi Aldama, GG Jackson II, and Luke Kennard will likely receive some more minutes off of the bench if Williams doesn't suit up. The former is still one of the best fantasy options in deep leagues, and he dropped 10 points, seven rebounds, three assists, one steal, and one block in an off night against the Pacers. |

Thu Feb 20 | 08:49 | Vince Williams Jr. Returns To Action Thursday |
Memphis Grizzlies guard/forward Vince Williams Jr. (knee) will be active on Thursday against the Indiana Pacers. Before the All-Star break, Memphis played out a back-to-back set, and Williams Jr. did not play in the second leg. It has been a tough season for Williams Jr., who has made only six appearances due to health issues. He has averaged 5.7 points, 4.0 rebounds, and 2.2 assists in 14.8 minutes. Williams Jr.'s role should grow over the final couple of months of the season if he can stay clear of injuries. |

Wed Feb 12 | 21:21 | Vince Williams Jr. Will Not Play Against Clippers |
Memphis Grizzlies guard/forward Vince Williams Jr. (knee) will be inactive against the Los Angeles Clippers on Wednesday. The team has ruled him out for the contest after initially listing Williams Jr. as questionable. Williams Jr. has only recently returned from a lengthy absence, and it was unlikely that Memphis would have him play both games in a back-to-back situation. GG Jackson II may be more involved in the action on Wednesday with Williams Jr. out. Jackson II struggled on Tuesday against the Phoenix Suns but has offered low-tier fantasy value lately, averaging 12.6 points and 3.8 rebounds this month. |

Wed Feb 12 | 17:49 | Vince Williams Jr. Questionable Versus Clippers |
Memphis Grizzlies guard Vince Williams Jr.(knee) is questionable for Wednesday's meeting with the Los Angeles Clippers due to soreness in his left knee. For the Grizzlies, Wednesday's game is the second leg of a back-to-back set. Williams played during the first leg, posting seven points, nine rebounds, and one assist across 17 minutes, beating the Suns 119-112 on Tuesday. Ja Morant(knee) is also questionable for the contest this evening, so the Grizzlies might give the two players a longer rest during the upcoming All-Star break. If Williams is out of action, GG Jacksonwill see an uptick in minutes on the floor on Wednesday. |

Thu Nov 21 2024 | 18:14 | Vince Williams Jr. Out At Least A Month |
Memphis Grizzlies forward Vince Williams Jr. (ankle) has only managed to play in three games this season as the injuries continue to pile up on him. Williams suffered a Grade 3 right ankle sprain during Tuesday's game against the Denver Nuggets. As a result, Williams will be shut down for four weeks and will be re-evaluated after that. The Grizzlies are likely going to use a committee approach to fill the void left by Williams. Jake LaRavia, John Konchar, and Luke Kennard should all see increased roles going forward. Out of the trio, LaRavia is the best fantasy option out of the bunch. He's worth a look as a streaming option with the Grizzlies shorthanded right now. |

Tue Oct 22 2024 | 08:46 | Vince Williams Jr. "A Couple Of Weeks Away" From Playing |
Memphis Grizzlies guard/forward Vince Williams Jr. (shin) has been ruled out for the start of the season. According to Grizzlies head coach Taylor Jenkins, Williams Jr. is "a couple of weeks away" from being ready to play. The 24-year-old is recovering from a shin stress reaction. Once he's healthy again, Williams Jr. will be leading the second unit. He did most of his damage as a starter last year, so Williams Jr.'s fantasy stock will be lower in 2024-25 unless Memphis starts losing its key guys to injuries again. Jake LaRavia and John Konchar should handle Williams Jr.'s minutes until he's ready to return. Neither player is a good fantasy option. |

Memphis Grizzlies guard Vince Williams Jr. (knee) has been ruled out again on Friday and will remain on the sidelines with tendonitis in his left patellar tendon.

Williams is likely part of the team's future, so they're not going to risk him injuring his knee any further. In the meantime, Scotty Pippen Jr., Jordan Goodwin, and Lamar Stevens have all been solid streaming options. Each one of them can garner some DFS interest as well given the better matchup. |

Memphis Grizzlies guard/forward Vince Williams Jr. (knee) will be absent for an 11th consecutive game on Monday against the Pistons. He's continuing to nurse a left knee injury. The 23-year-old out of VCU will get his next opportunity to return on Wednesday versus Milwaukee. Memphis also won't have Desmond Bane (back) on Monday, and John Konchar (foot) will likely miss another game, meaning we should see a lot of Scotty Pippen Jr., Jordan Goodwin, GG Jackson II, and Jake LaRavia again. The young Grizzlies have played well in recent weeks, although they tend to be inconsistent. |

He continues to deal with a left patellar issue that has kept him sidelined for four games. Before getting hurt, the 23-year-old was riding great momentum as one of the focal points of the team's offense. Desmond Bane's return to action will take away shots from Williams Jr. once he's eventually ready to return to the court. It looks like it won't be the case on Monday, which gives GG Jackson II and Jake LaRavia further opportunities to impress. Monday's matchup is a great one for the pair against a run-and-gun team that doesn't defend well. |
